Injuries.

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Hamstring injury ( what else ).

Its totally unacceptable for a club at this level to find itself after 10 games with only 5 members of its squad available for the first ten games of the season.

The whole medical and conditioning set up needs a complete revamp and the best of the best bought in to fix this problem which while never being able to be completely turned around has to get better.

We haven't even come close to the worst of conditions and suspensions are about to kick in to players.

Only a continuance of this scenario can and will derail our season , it needs to be addressed and improved upon ASAP as its been the biggest issue facing us for over two seasons now and its getting worse not better.

There's no medical preparation that can stop opposition players hacking at ankles and shins.

That would account for just one of our injuries (David Silva). All the others are soft tissue or muscle related. It was the same in 2014, the same in 2015 and it's even worse this season. Some serious questions need to be asked about our fitness, medical and conditioning regimes

should the premier league let teams sign loan players if players pick up a injury playing for there internationals teams we are going to lose aguero for 2 months why not let city loan a player to cover aguero's injury

I know we can sign a out of contract player but why not let us sign players like the lad at WBA
Saido Berahino on a 3 month deal then the next transfer window in jan 2016 then sign him full time

Because 1. we don't need him and 2. WBA might object?

(I was just quoting him not saying go and sign him)

but if you let players go to internationals and then get a long term Injuries there is no cover and that's wrong for the clubs who pay his wage and try to keep him fit all season so he can play internationals. the FA / Premier League should bring in a loan transfer for long term players injured on international duty and just like any other transfer its up to both clubs and player to agree a loan fee

also the club can then sign him on full terms if they want after the loan deal ends or on the next transfer window that's opens
so if Manchester city lose aguero for 12 weeks then we can bring in a player on a 3 month loan then sign him full time in jan transfer window 2016

That's just one injury.

Kolarov Hamstring, no return date
Kun Hamstring, 8th November
Yaya Hamstring, Saturday
Nasri Hamstring, Saturday
Delph Hamstring, 25th October

Plus the long term injury to Clichy.

To me, that is alarming! Especially when Zaba Kompany Mangala Hart and Fernando have all had muscle injuries this season too and it's not even halfway through October.

I prefer a previous poster's idea where the countries FA have to pay the wages and and medical costs if they knowingly play a player that may be carrying a knock. It'll soon stop all this nonsense.

maybe so but its down to the player in the end and how can you turn down your country
the club who pay his wage are just to soft to say look you don't need this game at the moment get yourself 100% fit take the 2 weeks off and do some light training and get some sun on your back the bigger picture is your looking after number 1

but if the laws of the game uefa/fifa can bend to let players sign out of contract then it can let league clubs cover there long lost to international football or just don't release the players when knowing they are not fully fit. i point the finger at united and fergie when they would not let there players play for England and the FA had to bring in the rule of letting there own staff have the last say

They should at least not allow players to play for the international team if they did not play in the previous club game because of fitness/injury.

Does this not happen already – or something similar where the FA have to insure the player to avoid being sued?
